Do you have a greetings card drawer? Often it is the case that when you are looking for the right card (and time-pressured) it proves elusive and when you are not looking you will stumble across an amazing selection! Blank cards are ideal to have to hand for all occasions.
At Quince & Quill we have a particular fondness for concertina greetings cards as they have several advantages:
Unique Presentation:
Concertina cards fold out in a series of panels, creating a dynamic and interactive experience for the recipient. This unique format stands out compared to traditional single-panel or bi-fold cards.
Extended Message Space:
The multiple panels provide more space for a longer message, allowing for a more detailed and personalised note. You can include anecdotes, multiple greetings, or even a story.
Visual Appeal:
The extended format allows for more elaborate and continuous artwork. When fully opened, the card can display a panoramic scene or a sequence of images, enhancing its visual impact.
Interactive Experience:
The unfolding action adds an element of surprise and engagement. The recipient experiences a sense of discovery as they open each panel, making the act of reading the card more memorable.
Display:
When opened, concertina cards can be displayed on a shelf or mantelpiece, becoming a decorative item. Their structure allows them to stand upright, making them an attractive display piece and something the recipient can cherish.
A concertina greeting card offers a blend of aesthetic appeal, ample space for personalization, and an engaging experience, making it a thoughtful and memorable choice for any occasion and a pleasure to display.
